About the Amethyst Geode

In Greece, the word “geode” means “shape of the earth.” They can be round or egg-shaped, and they range in size from less than an inch to over ten feet tall. Depending on the size of the amethyst geode, they can sell for anywhere from a couple dollars to several thousand dollars.

Amethyst geodes are hollow rocks that are lined on the inside with amethyst crystals. They are formed when gas cavities occur in lava beneath the earth’s surface. The cavities become filled with liquid that contains silica (quartz) and a small amount of iron. The iron is what gives amethyst its intoxicating purple color. Over thousands of years, the liquid forms 6-sided pyramids, which are known as crystals. Learn more about how amethyst geodes are formed here.

Amazingly, really large amethyst geodes can take a million years to form, and no two geodes are alike! How incredible is it that you can own such a beautiful piece of nature that took thousands of years to form and that is like nothing else on earth?

Types of Amethyst Geodes

Amethyst Geode Cathedral

An Amethyst Geode Cathedral, also known as an Amethyst Geode Church, is an amethyst geode that has been cut in half and then shaped to create a flat base that is filled with metal weights and concrete. The resulting shape looks like an arched cathedral. The inside remains untouched, while the outside is altered for aesthetics and functionality (the edges are sanded and the exterior is painted). With this shape of amethyst geode, you can enjoy the amethyst crystal clusters in all of their sparkling splendor. View our Amethyst Geode Cathedral selection here.

Amethyst Geode Slice

An Amethyst Geode Slice is the best way to take in the beauty of all of the layers within the amethyst geode. By cutting the geode straight through the entire piece without cutting it in half like the cathedral cut, we get to enjoy a glimpse of the entire geode and all of its stunning layers of solidified-liquid.

Rare Agate Rimed Amethyst Geodes

In rare cases, agate forms directly inside the outer shell of the geode. In those cases, the outer shell can be removed completely, leaving behind its beauty inside and outside, unlike most geodes whose outer rim is plain rock. In this case, we also get to enjoy the healing benefits of not only amethyst but also agate. Browse our selection of Agate Rimmed Amethyst Geodes here.

Amethyst Geodes With Calcite Formations

Some amethyst geodes contain calcite formations within them, which provides not only aesthetic interest, but also additional healing benefits. It offers a cleansing energy that helps us with make new beginnings, and it amplified the healing power of the amethyst surrounding it.
